Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 231 Lion King Fighting Fish, the Madman Among Fish

Upon hearing the news, all the students and teachers at Yingtian Academy immediately put down their work and headed towards Baiqiang Lake.

Even those who were in seclusion and were able to leave have all left.

The entire Baiqiang Lake was packed with people, three rings inside and three rings outside, so crowded that it was impossible to move. All the electronic screens were brightly flashing, and broadcasts were constantly blaring.

If we can ignore Jiang Chen's previous matches...

But when he challenged the top ten of the top 100 list, everyone had to pay attention!

The top ten on the list are the ten strongest students among all the students in Yingtian Academy!

To stand out among tens of thousands of students at Yingtian Academy, the top ten on the list must be exceptionally strong. Even some of the school's teachers are not as strong as the top ten on the list!

This is why everyone gathered here when they heard that Jiang Chen was going to challenge the top ten.

Only a handful of students out of tens of thousands at each school can surpass their teachers in ability during their student years.

Therefore, being among the top ten on the top 100 list is a testament to great strength and a tremendous honor, which is called "super genius"!

And most importantly, Jiang Chen was only 20 years old at the time, a sophomore in college!

To be able to rank among the top ten on the list of the top 100 at this age, Jiang Chen's talent can only be described as amazing. He has the potential to become a grandmaster in the future!

Grandmaster!

The Grandmaster is a colossal throne that sits atop the heads of all Beast Tamers, a goal that all Beast Tamers aspire to and strive for!

It is something that schools, governments, and the country all value highly!

A master-level beast tamer would be a feudal lord in ancient times, guarding a region, protecting the borders, and deterring the sea creatures!

This is why so many teachers rush over without hesitation when they hear there's a competition for the top ten of the top 100.

Jiang Chen stood on the surface of the Hundred Strong Lake. He looked around and saw that the electronic screens around the lake had all changed to his portrait and that of Shao Yuanji, who was ranked tenth on the Hundred Strong List.

When you reach the teens on the top 100 list, the rules change.

That means to get into the top ten of the top 100 list, you have to start by challenging the tenth place, then the ninth place, the eighth place, and so on, all the way up to the first place.

This was a rule personally set by Jiang Henian, and no one knows the specific reason why.

Therefore, when Jiang Chen prepared to continue his challenge, Shao Yuanji, who was ranked tenth on the top 100 list, was someone he absolutely could not avoid.

In fact, a few days ago, when Jiang Chen told Jiang Henian that he wanted to continue the challenge, Jiang Henian had already sent someone to make an appointment with Shao Yuanji in advance.

Shao Yuanji did not refuse, because with the National Beast Tamer Academy Competition approaching, he was being challenged almost every day.

Of course, everyone was ruthlessly eliminated by Shao Yuanji, who became an insurmountable obstacle to entering the top ten.

Once you reach the top ten, the points required for each challenge also increase, jumping directly to 1000 points!

Each challenge costs 1000 points, which is why Shao Yuanji has been willing to accept challenges recently.

On the one hand, it allows me to hone my skills, and on the other hand, I can make money. Why not? This is much easier than going out to kill sea creatures!

"Even the military has come?"

Jiang Chen stood on the lake and looked at the shore. He was surprised to see several soldiers in military uniforms who had appeared out of nowhere.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Anyone who can make it into the top ten of the top 100 list would have no problem getting a major position in the military.

Yingtian Beast Taming Academy has always been a reserve force of talented cadres for the Southern Beast Taming Corps. Now that the top ten competition has taken place, it is normal for them to send people over to observe.

Being in a good position gives you an advantage; if you have good talent, you should recruit them as soon as possible to avoid being poached by the other three major legions.

Jiang Chen's gaze swept across the crowd again, and he saw many familiar faces.

Zhang Caiying, Shi Shan, and others who were also at the Beast Taming Academy in Ningshui Town looked at Jiang Chen as if he were a god.

They were supposed to be students at the same school, but Jiang Chen was already someone who could face off against senior students. This was a huge blow.

Zhao Ziyi, Jin Yue, Gong Hao, and others also wore expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

As time went by, they didn't catch up with Jiang Chen's cultivation level; instead, they were left further and further behind...

They were all geniuses from Ningshui Town, but the halo of genius above their heads has become increasingly dim and has completely disappeared.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, continued to distinguish himself and display his heroic spirit.

……

The preparation time before the top ten matches is significantly longer than that of other matches.

The school's loudspeaker broadcast for nearly twenty minutes before slowly stopping. The familiar referee had also been replaced by an elderly man in a white training uniform.

Jiang Chen glanced at the other party. This old referee seemed to be the head of the Beast Taming Department, surnamed Zhuang.

Jiang Chen looked at the other person, who also looked at Jiang Chen. The latter smiled kindly and said, "After all, it's the top ten competition, so let this old man be the referee!"

"You and Shao Yuanji can make your move later, I'll be watching from the sidelines."

"Thank you, Director Zhuang," Jiang Chen replied.

That's good. The referee before was only a level 5 beast tamer. Now that Master Zhuang, a grandmaster, is personally overseeing the event, everything is even more foolproof.

After Jiang Chen waited for another half minute, a passage suddenly opened up in the bustling crowd, and a man walked out from it.

Judging from his appearance, he is Shao Yuanji, who is ranked tenth on the top 100 list and is Jiang Chen's target for this challenge.

The other person was not tall, about 1.7 meters, with a short buzz cut, bronze skin, and a lean build, exuding a clean and efficient aura.

He looked rather ordinary, but his eyes were incredibly sharp, as if they held two knives hidden within them, making it difficult to look directly at him.

He walked straight up to Jiang Chen and looked him up and down: "My name is Shao Yuanji."

"My name is Jiang Chen," Jiang Chen replied.

"Although you are only a junior in your second year, let me make it clear beforehand that I will not hold back!" Shao Yuanji stared directly at Jiang Chen with his sharp eyes and said coldly and bluntly.

This guy is pretty cold-blooded.

Jiang Chen immediately replied, "Although you are a senior in the fourth year, I will not hold back either."

"Hmm." Shao Yuanji seemed not to have grasped the meaning behind Jiang Chen's words and nodded lightly.

The referee, Zhuang Zheng, was speechless. Shao Yuanji was indeed still so stubborn.

Zhuang Zheng quickly glanced around to make sure everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived, then immediately raised his hand and announced, "I hereby declare the match between Jiang Chen, ranked 19th on the Top 100 list, and Shao Yuanji, ranked 10th, officially open!"

"Buzz!"

As soon as Zhuang Zheng finished speaking, a summoning circle appeared behind Shao Yuanji, and a colorful, beautiful fish-shaped pet emerged.

Upon seeing this pet beast, Jiang Chen's pupils immediately contracted, and his heart skipped a beat: "This is... a fighting fish!"

It's not the live streaming platform from the previous life, but a fish creature known as the "Gladiator of Fish," whose fish name is Fighting Fish!

This fish-like monster lives up to its name!

He has a bad temper and seems to have a war gene in his bones; he is extremely combative.

Once a "battle" begins, they become incredibly fierce, determined to determine a victor.

Not only beast tamers, but other sea creatures are extremely reluctant to encounter such brightly colored fish when they are in the desolate sea.

Because once they meet, one side will have to decide life or death; it's either you or me who dies!

Otherwise, they would be completely unable to escape, which is a huge headache!

Therefore, Douyu is also known as the "madman among fish" among beast tamers!

Seeing this kind of fish gives me a headache. I can only secretly pray that the other fish is weaker than me, otherwise it would be a complete disaster!

From the outside, fighting fish look just like ordinary fish, even "delicate in appearance", with a small mouth, a short chin and big eyes.

Its body is covered with iridescent, shimmering scales, making it look incredibly beautiful, almost like a gorgeous rainbow.

Another very distinctive feature of fighting fish is that they have a large number of fin spines all over their bodies. Each fin is long and large, especially the dorsal fin, caudal fin, and anal fin, which look like they are wearing a bright flag (illustrated).

Clearly, Shao Yuanji's pet fighting fish is not an ordinary fighting fish, but an advanced bloodline among fighting fish masters: the [Lion King Fighting Fish]!

When this fighting fish gets angry, all the spines on its fins will spread out one by one, and the fins will connect together to form a circle, making it look like an enraged lion.

The name "Lion King Fighting Fish" comes from this!

This lionfish has a body length of two meters, and its fins, when connected, are nearly four meters long. It has a majestic and handsome appearance, and is extremely beautiful. It looks both stunning and formidable.

"Buzz!"

An immense sense of oppression emanated from the Lion King Fighting Fish, and Jiang Chen immediately felt as if a tsunami was approaching, making it difficult to breathe!

"Late-stage Commander level, bloodline aptitude is late-stage General level!"

Experiencing the level of the Lion King Fighting Fish, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine!

As expected of the ten strongest students in the entire school, their strength is incomparable!

It can be said that Shao Yuanji's strength is enough to sweep away the magistrates of some small towns, and he can even rank among the top in the army.

"The fact that you've made it this far shows you're not bad, but don't let my Lion King Fighting Fish defeat you in just a few moves, or I'll be very disappointed!" Shao Yuanji said coldly to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen remained silent. A summoning array appeared behind him, and a magnificent, silver-white longsword materialized—the Seven-Star Knife Fish.

When Shao Yuanji saw Jiang Chen's Seven-Star Knife Fish, his eyes lit up at first, but then he immediately frowned!

"Low!"

"His cultivation level is far too low, only at the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, a whole major realm below me!"

"Although the Seven-Star Knife Fish pet is extraordinary, the difference in their cultivation levels is too great!"

Jiang Chen said, "Realm level doesn't represent everything. Whether we can win or not, we'll have to fight first!"

Shao Yuanji sneered, "I hope your strength matches your boasting!"

The surrounding audience erupted in cheers!

"It's here! Senior Brother Shao Yuanji's Lion King Fighting Fish has appeared!"

"This fish is so handsome, it's absolutely gorgeous!"

"Junior Brother Jiang Chen's Seven-Star Knife Fish is also quite good; it makes me very excited!"

"What a pity. Senior Brother Shao Yuanji is right. Although the Seven-Star Knife Fish is more extraordinary than the Lion King Fighting Fish in terms of bloodline, its cultivation level is still too low. This is a fatal flaw!"

"Junior Brother Jiang Chen is only a sophomore. It seems a bit difficult for him to make it into the top ten of the top 100 list."

"I think so too..."

"Huh? Why did the school close the betting channels? I can't place any bets now."

"Shut up! From this day forward, if I ever gamble again, I'm a dog!"

"Me too!"

"Um, what's wrong with you guys?"

Amidst the clamor of the audience, Jiang Chen and Shao Yuanji launched a joint attack!

Jiang Chen immediately entered his golden giant form, his muscles swelled, and he transformed into a strong giant over three meters tall. His golden skin shone brightly in the sunlight, eliciting screams from female fans.

Jiang Chen rushed towards Shao Yuanji immediately, while the Seven Star Knife Fish, spinning rapidly beside him, slashed at the Lion King Fighting Fish, causing the seawater to shatter with a thunderous roar.

Shao Yuanji glanced at Jiang Chen indifferently, knowing that Jiang Chen was planning to capture the leader first, letting the Seven Star Knife Fish deal with the pet beasts while he would deal with the beast tamer!

With a thought, the Lion King Fighting Fish enveloped him, and the two entered a state of oneness between human and beast.

"Bang!"

A flash of cold light streaked past, and the Lion King Fighting Fish raised its fins to defend itself. The fins collided violently, sending dazzling sparks flying underwater.

Before the seven-star knife fish could get away, the lionfish's fin spines pierced the seven-star knife fish, causing the lake water to explode!

The lion-mane-like fin spines on the Siamese fighting fish are not just for looks, but are weapons that can be used for both offense and defense!

At the crucial moment, a golden fist slammed out, striking the Lion King Fighting Fish's sharp fin spines!

This fist contained immense and surging power, directly pressing the fins back onto the Lion King Fighting Fish, and the golden fist also fell down.

"Bang!"

With a burst of immense power, Shao Yuanji, who was shrouded in the phantom of the Lion King Fighting Fish, was immediately sent flying backward like a broken sandbag.

With a hum, the Seven Star Knife Fish spun its blade, and flames like starlight flashed rapidly on the silver blade. In an instant, it cleaved through the lake water and appeared above Shao Yuanji's head, striking down again with a devastating blow!

Skill: Star Blade!

Skill: Rapid Dash!

"Oh My God!"

"This...how is this possible?"

The numerous spectators on the lakeshore were immediately shocked when they saw that Jiang Chen had gained the upper hand from the very beginning of the battle, and they exclaimed in surprise.

Skill: Fin Spear - Waltz!

"boom!"

In the lake, just as the shimmering blades of the Seven-Star Knife Fish were about to be directed at Shao Yuanji, the fish suddenly roared, and all the fins on its body instantly sprang out like a lion spreading its mane!

The seven-star knife fish, which was about to be slashed down, was immediately blown away by countless fin spears. Countless sharp fin spears pierced the seven-star knife fish's body with great force, making a series of "thud thud" sounds!

In the lake, Shao Yuanji stared wide-eyed at Jiang Chen and his pet Seven-Star Knife Fish, his face filled with astonishment.

At this moment, the Seven-Star Knife Fish, which had just suffered countless fin attacks, was mostly unharmed except for a few broken scales.

Jiang Chen's right hand, which had just struck the fin spike's fist, was completely unharmed, not even a scratch!

This defensive capability is terrifying!
